Qualification Matrix - October 2014 QM
Preface
A significant portion of the fees we charge you for processing your credit card and non-PIN debit card transactions is related to the fees we are obligated to pay to Visa, MasterCard, Discover
and American Express (the “Payment Networks”), which fees the Payment Networks either pay to the payment card issuing banks or retain for their own benefit. This amount, called
“Interchange” varies based upon a series of interchange programs (also known as interchange levels), that may apply to the transaction depending upon a number of factors – including but
are not limited to, the type of card presented, specific information contained in the transaction, how and when the transaction is processed and your industry. American Express charges Program Pricing fees and not Interchange, and these fees are subject to change.
As a result, a portion of the rate that we charge you will depend on the type of transaction and the interchange program under which the transaction is processed. In order to qualify for any
specific Interchange program, you must satisfy certain qualification criteria established by the payment networks. This Visa, MasterCard, Discover & American Express Payment Network
Qualification Matrix identifies the primary qualification criteria for the various interchange programs. In reviewing the Visa, MasterCard, Discover & American Express Payment Network
Qualification Matrix, please note the following:
•
The Payment Network Qualification Matrix is only a summary of the rates, qualification criteria, and downgrade reasons established by Visa, MasterCard, Discover & American Express
for each interchange program – it is not all inclusive and applies to merchants processing in the U.S. For a complete list, call the customer service phone number listed on your merchant
account statement. In the event of any ambiguity or conflict, the interchange requirements established by the payment networks will determine in which interchange program your
transactions qualify.
•
Some interchange programs require that you utilize certain additional services such as Address Verification Service (AVS). Some interchange programs also require that you
transmit detailed transaction data such as order numbers or hotel folio numbers. Other interchange programs require that you transmit certain indicators reflecting the nature of
your transactions (such as an “E-Commerce indicator” for internet transactions).
•
Interchange programs may also be restricted to merchants in certain Merchant Category Codes (“MCC”) such as Supermarkets or Automated Fuel Dispensers (AFD).
•
In some cases, transactions may be processed within a more costly interchange program solely as a result of the type of card that is presented. For example, a Visa Signature card,
among others, will generally qualify within a higher interchange program.
•
The information in the Payment Network Qualification Matrix should not be used to develop software or other interfaces for transmitting transactions as technical aspects of
these requirements may be much more detailed than the summary presented. If you utilize terminals, software, services or equipment provided or configured by any third party,
be aware that failure by these systems to correctly and accurately transmit information in the required formats may result in your transactions not qualifying within the
most favorable interchange programs.
•
The Primary Qualification Criteria listed for each interchange program on the Payment Network Qualification Matrix is accurate at the time of release. However, the payment networks
may at their discretion add, remove or change qualification criteria or interchange programs at will.
•
On June 29, 2011 the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) released the final regulations implementing Section 1075 (the Debit Interchange Amendment) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
Act. Within the Act, the FRB was directed to establish regulations on Debit Interchange Rates. As a result, effective October 1, 2011, Debit Interchange will be divided into two
categories: Non-Regulated (Financial Institutions with assets less than $10 billion, Govt. issued benefit cards and general-use reloadable prepaid cards) and Regulated (Financial
Institutions with assets greater than or equal to $10 billion).
•
The Discover section only applies to customers where Wells Fargo Merchant Services (WFMS) is responsible for the authorization, processing and settlement of Discover Cards
(including Diners Club International, Japanese Credit Bureau, China Union Pay and Korean BC Card). It does not apply to customers that have a direct relationship with Discover,
where WFMS is responsible for only authorization and/or capture of Discover Cards, and Discover is responsible for processing and settlement.
•
The American Express section only applies to customers where Wells Fargo Merchant Services (WFMS) is responsible for the authorization, processing and settlement of American
Express Cards. It does not apply to customers that have a direct relationship with American Express, where WFMS is responsible for only authorization and/or capture of American
Express Cards, and American Express is responsible for processing and settlement.

transaction is not swiped and is key-entered then the next downgrade interchange program would be Non-Swipe Tier 1-3 when looking at the corresponding numeric bullet point in the “Next Interchange Program Logic” column.
